Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct due to substance abuse could have caused the person to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use issue, frequently require treatment services tailor-made to satisfy their specific demands and challenges. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their own health. As a result, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other critical issues. Besides the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions whilst in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS should also tackle deeper issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, individuals have situations in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, like oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehab counselors will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
